Information handling system folded display assembly
View Patent ↗A portable information handling system display has an OLED film disposed over front and rear faces of a substrate, such as a carbon fiber material. A protective cover is disposed over the OLED film with a folded portion along an end of the substrate, the protective cover hardened at the front and rear faces and left unhardened along the folded portion. In one example embodiment, a transparent bezel is placed over the folded portion with the OLED film presenting system information through the bezel, such as battery state, etc.
1. A method for assembly of a portable information handling system display, the method comprising:
folding an OLED film around a substrate so that the OLED film covers a front and rear surface of the substrate;
masking a portion of a protective cover;
treating the protective cover, the treating hardening the protective cover, the masking preventing the treating of the portion;
folding the protective over at the masked portion; and
coupling the protective cover over the OLED film with the masked portion aligned along an edge of the substrate;
attaching a bezel along the edge to cover the masked portion of the protective cover, the bezel comprising a transparent material; and
presenting status information of the information handling system with the OLED display disposed below the bezel.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein folding the protective cover at the masked portion further comprises heating the masked portion with a CO2 laser.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising treating the masked portion to harden the masked portion after the folding the protective cover.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising inserting a battery in the substrate, the battery interfaced with a power system of the information handling system to power the information handling system.
